Some pianists have cool looking hands and techniques that are also just enjoyable from a purely visual perspective.
For me - Hamelin, Lugansky, Kissin, Cziffra, Libetta, Gilels, Richter, Horowitz.
As unique to watch as listen almost! ;D
-
I saw a Horowitz video and I can't forget about it.
Also there's this girl I saw in a piano competition, when she plays scales, her fingers go flipping in a weird way, which I also like.
-
Michelangeli, Richter.
-
Argerich's video of Strauss's Burleske. (It's on YouTube.)
A real visual pianistic feast! It's the only Argerich video I've seen where one can really get a good look at her hands in action.
-
My favorite pair of hands to watch are Argerich's. They're just so beautiful.
I also enjoy watching Michelangeli.

Argerich's Rach 3 is on Google Videos. Highly recommended.

Basicly i only watch my own hands since i dont really watch other people playing, only listen. That is how i dont get too sick when experiencing Lang Langs music.
Anyway, that must mean that my favourite pair of hands to watch are my own ;)

IMO, very incompetently filmed. Few good shots of Argerich -even fewer of her hands- and the producer seemed more interested in showing us Chailly conducting, even mopping his brow during the cadenza. It's all so frustrating that I can't watch it, but glad it is something you have enjoyed!

I have a classmate whose hands and fingers are more flexible than a pianist.
But she doesn't play the piano because she is a master ofa certain martial arts.
But I love to see the hands of her master who can push up using one finger.
That is whatI call the best potential virtuoso performer... :) ::)
-
Richter's and Cziffras
-
Richter and Cziffra for sure (Chopin 10/4 and Liszt Gnomenreigen respectively)
And Claire Huangci playing Prokofiev Toccata - the fastest I've seen, and I don't know the piece well enough note for note, but sounds quite accurate... her hands go insane!! It's on youtube, check it out 8)
-
Martha Argerich's hands are perfect
-
o enjoy argerich's, and hate horowitz's and have fun with perahia's
-
Gould's hands. I think his hands looked so slender and flexible , well protected by wearing gloves all the time
-
I don't really care that much about how hands look from performer to performer.
That said I would probably go with Cziffra, Pogorelich, Yuja Wang and Richter. These are just my all around favourites though.

Rubinstein. Definitely.
